Exposure to 1800 MHz radiofrequency radiation induces oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA in primary cultured neurons

Dietary myo-inositol modulates immunity through antioxidant activity and the Nrf2 and E2F4/cyclin signalling factors in the head kidney and spleen following infection of juvenile fish with Aeromonas hydrophila

“…The ROS values are expressed as the multiples of the levels of the control group according to the method described in a previous study [45]. Lipid peroxidation were analysed in terms of malondialdehyde (MDA) equivalents using the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reaction as described in a previous study [46].…”

The Main Approaches of Studying the Mechanisms of Action of Artificial Electromagnetic Fields on Cell

“…At the same time the highly significant relationships was established between SAR, the oxidative DNA damage bio-marker, 8-OH-dG, and DNA fragmentation after microwave (1.8 GHz SAR from 0.4 W/kg to 27.5 W/kg) exposure of human spermatozoa [72]. About the analogous oxidative damage induced by EMF in rats mitochondrial DNA it was mentioned above [60]. So, the oxidative stress produced by EMFs may be the cause different negative consequences of EMF -micronuclei formation [61,[73][74][75] and DNA strand breaks [76][77][78].…”

“…In experiments with the primary cultured cortical neurons exposed to pulsed electromagnetic fields at a frequency of 1800 MHz modulated by 217 Hz at an average SAR of 2 W/kg the oxidative damage was demonstrated [60]. At 24 h after exposure the radiation induced a significant increase in the levels of 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OHdG), a common biomarker of DNA oxidative damage, in the mitochondria of neurons.…”

“…Together, these results suggested that 1800 MHz RF radiation could cause oxidative damage in mtDNA in primary cultured neurons. In authors' opinion the oxidative damage of mtDNA may account for the neurotoxicity of RF radiation in the brain [60].…”

A review on electromagnetics (EM) exposure measurement techniques from base station

“…Public awareness on the health risks due to the exposure to RF emission has become significant. This is due to many studies have been conducted on the adverse effects of the long term exposure from the sources mentioned on the living things [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Some of them have proved that the NIR exposure has possible effects on human health.…”
